Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 376 Arrangement
Seeing that Du Jinning was about to leave after finishing speaking, Jiang Bei hurriedly said: "I'm not unwilling. My brother and sister have been homeless for two years and have suffered a lot. Now I know that it is not easy to gain a foothold outside. I can meet a kind master , is our luck. Please keep us, young master, we will definitely do things diligently, we will not eat for nothing, and we will not cause trouble for you, young master."

Seeing that he spoke sincerely, Du Jinning asked, "Do you really want to stay and be a servant?"

"Yes, please take us in, young master." Jiang Bei said earnestly.

"That's fine. Then I'll see how you behave." Du Jinning didn't refuse, and walked over to pick up the deed of sale and put it away, then went out and returned to the front yard.

With a master like Qi Muyuan with weird living habits, Uncle Shen's family can understand Du Jinning's demands very well.Du Jinning had dinner with Qi Muyuan, and then asked Shen Ming to bring two buckets of hot water into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door.The courtyards of this kind of aristocratic family are well designed, and each courtyard has toilets and bathing places.Du Jinning took a bath, washed the clothes, dried the clothes, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. When she woke up and went out, she found that Wang Fulai had already arrived, chatting with old man Shen while eating in the kitchen .Yao Shuqi was sitting next to him.

"Master." Seeing Du Jinning, Wang Fulai, Yao Shuqi and others all stood up.

Seeing Yao Shuqi coming, Du Jinning was very happy.Signaling them to sit down, she asked Yao Shuqi, "Why are you here?"

"I've been waiting in the yard over there. I never thought that you came here, young master." Yao Shuqi smiled, "I'll come here to greet you and tell you about the house by the way."

"Let's talk in my yard." Some things are difficult to say in front of outsiders. Du Jinning stood up, and wanted to follow Wang Fulai when she saw Wang Fulai. The uncle will take you to find a room to live in."

There are a lot of servants' rooms in the Qi mansion, all of which are empty. Let Wang Fulai live here, and it will be convenient for her to come and go if she wants to use a car.If there is something to tell Yao Shuqi, someone can help pass the message.Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to bother Liu Gao or Old Man Shen's family with everything.

"Okay, young master." Wang Fulai stood up and agreed, and then sat down to continue eating.

Du Jinning took Yao Shuqi into the hall of her yard and sat down, then poured him a cup of tea.

Yao Shuqi didn't even dare to say, and said again: "Master, you should buy a few servants."

"I didn't buy it." Du Jinning told the story of the Jiangbei brothers and sisters.

Yao Shuqi is an old man. He has been working as a shopkeeper in Fucheng for the past two years, and he has become more and more shrewd.

Upon hearing this, he frowned: "I'm afraid Jiangbei is not a safe man, or you put him in my shop as a coworker, don't keep him around."

"Let's have a look first before we talk." Du Jinning said.

Seeing that Du Jinning had an idea, Yao Shuqi stopped talking about it, but talked about buying the house: "Uncle Shen just told me that you went to see the house across the street?"

Du Jinning nodded, told about the situation in that house, and asked Yao Shuqi, "What do you say about this?"

Yao Shuqi pondered for a moment: "Speaking of which, although the price of this house is high, the house is not good, and it is not a good place to ask people to buy materials and work hard to build the house. But it has one advantage, that is, it is far from the Young Master Qi is near here, if there is anything that needs to be taken care of by the Qi family."

Du Jinning nodded: "That's exactly what I thought, so I hesitated." She asked again, "Tell me about the three houses you have in hand."

Yao Shuqi then told the situation of the three houses.

These three houses were carefully selected by him.According to Du Jinning's request, there are basically two to three yards. The yard occupies a small area, and it is neither crowded nor wasteful for a family of four plus some servants.The locations are not bad, and they are all near the Fuxue. Due to different circumstances, there are some differences in prices, ranging from 1000 taels to [-] taels of silver.

"Let's go and have a look tomorrow." Although Du Jinning liked the land diagonally opposite the door, he decided to wait and see.

The two agreed on a time and place to meet tomorrow, and Yao Shuqi left.

After Yao Shuqi left, Du Jinning polished his ink and practiced calligraphy, and finished today's homework.

"Master Du, it's time to eat." Shen Ming's voice came from outside the courtyard.

Du Jinning agreed, washed his pens and packed them up, went to the front yard to have dinner with Qi Muyuan, and told him about going to see the house tomorrow.

"We'll go with you tomorrow." Qi Muyuan came to Fucheng this time to accompany Du Jinning to look at the house, so he naturally wanted to follow.

He cleaned his hands and said again: "If you are really interested in the place opposite, you can ask Shen Qingshan or shopkeeper Yao to go to Cao Zhongren, give him some money, and ask him to persuade old man Wei to make this happen. "

Du Jinning stopped wiping his hands and looked at Qi Muyuan.She did have such a plan, but she was worried that Qi Mu would not agree with this approach, so she didn't mention it.Unexpectedly, Qi Muyuan also thought of this idea.

"Don't you think it's unfair to do that?" she asked.

Qi Muyuan looked at her in surprise, and asked back: "Do you think this is unfair?"

"No, no." Du Jinning shook his head quickly, "I'm just about to do that. But I'm afraid you're not fair enough to say it."

The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.

"Tomorrow, let's go and see those houses first, and then we can talk about it later." Du Jinning said.

"Okay." Qi Muyuan nodded.

After cleaning their hands, the two sat opposite each other to eat.Qi Muyuan pushed a plate of fish towards Du Jinning, and said, "You love fish, Aunt Shen cooked it for you specially."

"Ah, thank you so much." Du Jinning picked up the most tender piece of fish belly, put it in his mouth, nodded and praised, "It's delicious."

Fish in this era are all wild, and there is no pollution in the rivers and lakes. The fish tastes very good, and Du Jinning likes to eat it very much.Although the cooking methods of people in this era are simple, and the fish always has a fishy smell, but Du Jinning can still bear it.

But Qi Muyuan couldn't stand a little shame, probably because of his special experience when he was a child.Not only is he a clean freak, he is also very picky about eating.He always thinks meat dishes are fishy, ​​so he seldom touches meat dishes, and usually eats more vegetarian dishes.

But fortunately, he hasn't reached the point where he can't see others eating meat dishes in front of him.

Seeing that Qi Muyuan only ate the three plates of vegetarian dishes in front of him, Du Jinning was a little worried for him: "You eat like this all the time, you can't keep up with the nutrition." She rubbed her chin, "How about I cook two dishes for you?"

Qi Muyuan stopped his chopsticks, his eyes widened: "Do you know how to cook?"
